Preview Wasteland 2 Preview in GameStar Magazine

[Stabwound]

Don't give a shit about the little details. This looks and sounds better than I had started to think it would turn out like.

What is the point of preventing their attack.they are a goddamn walking experience. And, it seems, crafting materials. And food.

Guano must be immensely valuable in the post nuclear world. Look at it as the Wasteland equivalent of the goose that lay golden eggs. Or stay in character and consider the advantages of having a giant pet animal over just killing the poor thing. Maybe you can sell them for a profit, too.

 

[Excidium]

Prevents animals from attacking and makes it possible for some to follow us.

I dunno, staying alive

 

[AstroZombie]

I'm going to make a character with 100 points on Toaster Repair, fuck Josh Sawyer.

 

[Canus]

Are we sure Brute Force refers to breaking locks?
If it's a scientific skill surely it makes more sense for it to be related to brute forcing passwords. So a computer skill.

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

Backer-exclusive skills feel like a new low.

 

[Excidium]

You're 4 months late to the party

 

[Infinitron]

You're 14 months late to the party

Backer-exclusive skills feel like a new low.

And which was the previous low?

Backer-exclusive skills feel like a new low.

And which was the previous low?

Maybe backer-exclusive updates? Although I don't think InXile ever did that (it's an idiotic practice, anyway).

He said backer-exclusive skills, but I don't know any other KS game offering backer-exclusive skills hence he is just bullshiting. It is just a flavor skill, it cannot be a low point if it doesn't matter.

 

[Infinitron]

I think one of the reasons hoopy ragequit the Codex is because none of us gave a fuck about the backer-exclusive skill which he saw as some kind of horrible travesty

I figured he meant it was a new low for a Kickstarter favoring backers or something.

The whole thing is sort of redundant and I would rather not have some exclusive game content and risk InXile losing some customers who might be offended by the decision to restrict their access to game content (even if a simple .ini edit can solve it).

 

[Excidium]

I think I don't give a shit

FFS at best it's some extra lines of description and nods to the original wasteland. WHOA maybe it hints at a secret stash you'll end up finding anyway

 

[FeelTheRads]

Who the fuck is hoopy and why should we care?

I thought the backer skills would really be completely useless (as it is now, it seems moderately useful if only for flavor), but what the fuck, how are people still surprised by its existence? It's been there right from the start.

 

[weresheeple]

Yeah, I know, but there are autists who will not buy it just because of that. Other than that, I don't care, either.

 

[Roguey]

Shadowrun Returns has a backer exclusive DocWagon for your fallen allies and a backer exclusive ghost and I don't think anyone cares.

That might be because the autists I am talking about have more viable points to complain about regarding Shadowrun.

It can't be much more than that, because otherwise too many people would feel entitled to get the game from tpb.

 

[Koschey]

what about puggilism and brawling? didnt make the cut?

Could go with Brute Force.

If that is truly the case, it should be obvious why Brute Force is categorized as a sweet scientific skill


Also, no Combat Shooting!?

 

[Cyberarmy]

Also, no Combat Shooting!?

Even Inxile haven't figured how that skill work yet! :D

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

Backer-exclusive skills feel like a new low.

And which was the previous low?

I dunno, like, maybe backer-exclusive items? And people complain when AAA games have dozens of pre-order exclusives. Can't imagine what kind of mindset made that practice take root.

 

[Burning Bridges]

I think it means extra money for kickstarters. Some of the backers are very rich, with a little persuasion they may add another digit to their pledge.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I think it means extra money for kickstarters.

And pre-order exclusive bonuses mean extra money for the publisher/developer as well. Doesn't mean it's good practice.
